First Impression
This is Tahoe at its most exclusive. Tucked along a protected stretch of shoreline, the estate opens to a quiet, glassy cove. Massive timber and stone construction gives it a grounded, almost lodge-like presence against the Sierra backdrop.
Everything feels intentional, from the way the house faces the water to how the grounds unfold toward the shoreline.
Inside The Home
The main living space sets the tone immediately. A towering stone fireplace anchors the great room, while floor-to-ceiling windows pull the lake directly into view. The ceilings rise high, but the natural materials keep it from feeling cold or oversized.
The kitchen is built for both daily living and large-scale entertaining, with adjacent prep and dining areas that flow easily into one another. It’s open, but not chaotic — everything has its place.
The primary suite leans into privacy and calm, separated from the main flow of the home and designed to take full advantage of the water views.

The Big Picture
For context, the median home price in Nevada is around $450,000. This property is priced at more than 100 times that — driven by something you can’t replicate: private shoreline on Lake Tahoe.
It last sold in 2013 for $20.9 million, meaning its value has more than doubled in just over a decade.
Final Take
It’s not just a lake house — it’s control over a piece of Tahoe. The kind of property that doesn’t come up often… and doesn’t need to.
